Posted by: | Comments
Just like the end of 2009, I will wrap up this year with a top ten list of my favorites movies from 2010. Coincidentally enough, this post is on the same day as it was last year. So consider the top ten movies of the year posted December 31st as a new Movie Mash annual tradition.
Of course, I cannot give any insight into films I did not see this year. This list could be different if I saw every movie that came out in 2010, but unfortunately I didn’t have that opportunity. With that considered, here is a list of my favorite movies from 2010. I am sure some of you will have your own thoughts on a top ten. Read through mine, and tell me how little I know about movies if your list differs from mine. Hit the jump to check out the best movies from 2010.
Matt’s Review: ‘Fair Game’ is Dramatic Dynamite

GRADE: A-
Remember way back when I posted an article about an upcoming movie called Fair Game? I was really excited to see the film as it stars the dynamic duo of Sean Penn and the gorgeous Naomi Watts. Well, the movie came out last weekend. Sad to say, it didn’t even crack the top ten at the box office (I didn’t expect it to) and hasn’t got any notice in movie-going circles. I had a chance to see Fair Game last week (the review comes now because school is my arch enemy) and it was the best film to hit theaters last weekend in my humble opinion. Yes, it was better than the entertaining Megamind and the deplorable Due Date. Sadly, hardly any theaters are showing Fair Game leaving people without the opportunity to get out and see it. So, I guess you could consider this a future recommendation for a Netflix rental.

The upcoming release Fair Game should not to be confused with the 1995 bomb starring Cindy Crawford and William Baldwin with the same title. The 90′s flick only banked $11 million on an estimated $50 million budget, scored a 13% approval on RottenTomatoes, and was nominated for Razzie awards for Worst Actress (Crawford) and Worst Screen Couple. The newest version of Fair Game stars the absolutely stunning Naomi Watts and Academy Award Winner Sean Penn (Milk). The project also has Doug Liman’s name attached to the director’s role, usually counting as a plus.His best works are: The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and Swingers. The 2010 version of Fair Game follows the real life events surrounding ex-CIA agent Valerie Plame.
